If you can bend metal in a sort of professional way you will be elevated to a God like status in the minds of your peers and treated like crap by the management.
You don't realise what you've got until its gone, like a good cabin refurbisher, who are the next trade to get kicked in the nuts by the BA beancounters.
And another thing, if you got a CAA LWTR you won't have much genning up to do for an A+P
the guys on our shift haven't even got CAA LWTR and they walked it. No revision, Nothing - just a good aircraft apprenticeship.
